There is also a video game for Xbox based on the film called "Oogie's
Revenge" , so your students may well know the story and the characters.
It is a Third-Person Action Adventure. Read these reviews, which are not too
good for the game, and also seem to say that the film itself is a bit outdated
and that this Goth atmosphere is no longer in....

All about Animals
Nelly Vuillemin recommends this site on e-teach to discover animals and their
habitat. You click on a habitat ( polar, forest, ocean...) and you access a
set of pictures of its inhabitants and for each you have a fact sheet to download.
Useful in primary school when you study the theme also in French at the same
time, or in lower secondary school to work crosscurricular with the biology
teacher.

Appel à Communication : Colloque international 2006 TICE et Didactique des Langues Étrangères et Maternelles
Colloque international 2006 TICE et Didactique des Langues Étrangères et
Maternelles : la problématique des aides à l'apprentissage 14 - 15 Septembre
2006
Laboratoire de Recherche sur le Langage
Maison des Sciences de l’Homme (Maison de la Recherche)
Université Blaise Pascal, Clermont 2
Clermont-Ferrand, France
Que l’on se situe dans une logique d’enseignement ou dans une logique d’apprentissage,
la mise en oeuvre d’aides appropriées aux besoins des apprenants dans leur
processus d’apprentissage est une problématique centrale en didactique, et
en particulier en didactique des langues,
étrangères et maternelles, avec supports informatiques qui est le domaine d'apprentissage
choisi dans ce colloque.
Les aides seront abordées selon deux moments de leur intégration dans les environnements
d’apprentissage :
- les aides dans la conception informatique de ces environnements ;
- les aides dans le cadre de l’utilisation de ces environnements qu'il s'agisse
d'environnements avec médiateur, de dispositifs d’autoformation ou de dispositifs
de formation à distance.
Il s’agira d’interroger la notion d’aide, et de la cerner le mieux possible.
En effet, aujourd’hui, nombreux sont les termes qui renvoient à cette notion
: guidage, étayage, accompagnement, médiation, etc. et nombreuses sont les
disciplines concernées : didactique des langues, sciences du langage, psychologie
cognitive, sciences de l'éducation, de la communication, etc.
D’autres questionnements possibles porteront sur :
- les aides en relation avec la spécificité du domaine d’apprentissage, en
l'occurrence, le langage ;
- les limites liées au traitement informatique de la langue dans l’analyse
des réponses de l’apprenant et donc des rétroactions possibles du système ;
- les spécificités des aides (nature et forme) selon les situations d’apprentissage,
les connaissances visées (connaissances déclaratives ou procédurales), les
objectifs d’enseignement ou d'apprentissage ;
- l’adaptation des aides aux stratégies spécifiques des apprenants (la pertinence
et l’individualisation des aides) ;
- les problèmes spécifiques rencontrés dans les différents contextes d’utilisation
des environnements informatiques.
Propositions de communication
Les propositions de communication doivent être rédigées prioritairement en
français, et enregistrées en format .rtf. Elles doivent contenir :
- le titre de la communication ;

- l’adresse du participant, courriel, numéro de téléphone et mention de son
affiliation institutionnelle ;
- la préférence de l'auteur quant à la forme de sa communication : exposé oral
ou poster (le comité scientifique se réservant la décision finale).
Elles sont à envoyer par courriel avant le 15 février 2006 à :
Maguy Pothier : pothier@lrl.univ-bpclermont.fr
